Keyboard Cannot Replace Pen Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

From the quills to fountain pens
To chalk to ball and gel pens
To typewriter, to keyboards,
Transition has come in writing stick

From walls to clothes,
To slates to blackboards
To paper to monitors
come in writing pad.

Taking down notes on paper
Is superior to use keyboards.
Reading notes on the blackboard
Is superior to seeing in the monitor.

There is more concentration and focus
In seeing and copying.
There is better hand eye coordination
In writing with own hand.

Reading in a hard copy scores
Over reading in an eBook.
Greeting in a letter scores.
Over greeting in soft copy..

Let a pupil learn from lecture.
Let he/she learn from the blackboard.
Let he/she take down on paper.
Let them write what they learn.

Blackboard in classroom is still the best.
Handwriting of lesson is still the best.
Teaching involves emotions.
Internet can serve an aid and no more.
